They make an 8 and 10" version of that now.

Hi, I would suggest getting a RV oriented GPS. It will know what type of RV you have and how big it is. It will route you to avoid low brigbes and other obstacles difficult for an RV to traverse. It will help you locate dump stations, Points, of Interest, water, etc...

He has not been reinstated. If things worked like you think they should. Our military would be dysfunctional. If they effect policy by leaking to the press, they'll be just as useful and worthwhile as your average Senator or Congressman. We have enough of those cesspools in our Government now.

That's what he should have done. As soon as he started cutting paper on this upstream, somebody would have jumped in. Basically career Musical Chairs, no one would have wanted to be caught standing when the music stopped. Would have hurt him a little bit though, but not like this.

I think he beef was with the Admiral down the passageway from him. I thought the Flag office was on the carrier

I look at Crozier with Sympathy and Empathy. These are all separate from the fact that Field and Flag grade officers or anyone else for that matter can't utilize the press for communications. That Dog don't hunt, period, exclamation point. He's done. He could have blown up everything...

Me too. Ohh excuse me, I guess that's a thing now. I believe that Crozier also tried to not take the crew to this Fandango. But was overruled. There's no doubt that he knew this trip was a hazard to his crew and to the combat readiness of his command. That's why I said he was Morally...

He flew across the world to the carrier to announce that BS he spewed on the comm system to the crew that Brett Crozier was trying to save? Where Cpt Crozier had been canonized. You don't call that clueless? When i heard that on the news, I said the exact same phrase that some of the crew...

Go back and re-read what I was responding to. The acting SecNav

That Dude was about as clueless as clueless can get...

He's not Rebecca of Sunny Brook farm. The reason he send this the way he did was plausible deniability when it leaked. It was a foregone conclusion this would happen. They know that and they didn't appreciate it. He knew that this would be basically in the clear.

You seem to be missing the point as well as some others here. You can't run a Military where personnel use the media to effect whatever change they are trying to accomplish. That's why he had to go, doesn't matter his motives. He could have got what he wanted and Torpedo'd his career...

Ahhh, when was he reinstated?

Military is a different environment. I didn't say normal chain of command. That obviously wasn't working for him. If he was going to take a chance and blow up his career, take a chance and blow it up internally, it may be salvageable. Interacting with command via the San Francisco chronicle...

When you think of Capt Crozier's accomplishments in life, and his ability to make the right decisions in stressful situations year after year, and doing it right, time after time, he must have been seriously conflicted in his mind to make that decision. As much as I think he had to be fired...
